With plenty of time to spare. Did not even get to the last payday.

Now may the usual suspects start moaning about how Saints, should have taken it to a bigger ground (paid rent to someone else and let someone else take money on food and drink) and not made money at Saints own ground as Saints could have got another couple of thousand which would never have covered the extra costs and loss of income.



You know, every silver lining has a cloud, its the RL fans way.

Well done Saints, hope we follow suit.

Re: World Club Series : Thu Jan 29, 2015 1:23 pm  

Saints will make a pretty penny on this game.

Here's hoping this expanded format becomes an annual thing.

Saints do right to hold it at their home ground. Pack it out and get a great atmosphere and really put the sh|ts up the Aussies from the start. It worked for Leeds in 2012.

Keeps all the money in RL too.

William will be busy scouring the internet collecting evidence of free ticket giveaways as we speak.

I'd hate to defend Mr Eve but congratulating ourselves for this is hardly makes it difficult for him

Re: World Club Series : Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:15 pm  

Has he even posted? It's one thing to argue with him, but if he was to respond no doubt any post he makes would be regarded as him stirring.

In the end if you poke the nest expect something to come out and respond.

Of course Saints should hold it at their own ground! Is anyone even suggesting different? I hope we see good attendances at all three games.

Yes, I suggest that the main game of the WCC be held at Wembley on a Sunday afternoon. That way we could possibly attract 50,000, with half of the fans from London and the south of England.

We could still hold the other games at M62 grounds for the parochial locals. The real rugby league fans would travel to Wembley for the big one, given the chance to return home at 4-5 pm on Sunday after a celebratory drink.
